I tried using DDG for about 3 months, until I had to ditch it. I want to use it, but its results are even worse than Googles.

While on Google I might have to scroll past the ads, sponsored links and obvious AI blog results, the first page will usually at least contain a relevant result somewhere, whereas DDG simply doesn’t bother to show any relevant results at all. Even on it’s first page, it will stray far from the actual search term.

“Now with all 4 teeth out, I have room for, like, 14 more of your kind”

does that cost extra?

I am not falling for that stupid trick again. Everyone knows planes don’t use blinker fluid because that would freeze during flight, they use plasma.

I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece “The Hardening”, but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my “Mandela-Effect” moment.

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

Same

it takes basically no extra effort

I’d assume one needs to verify the email by clicking a link, so to spam user1@domain.tld, user2@domain.tld would mean you need access to those inboxes. That means you need to go through the effort to actually create those emailadresses on whatever freemail service you chose, or you need to host the emailserver yourself and have all mails run into a catchall inbox.
Hosting your own emailserver is definately not “basically no extra effort”, even for a lot of tech-savvy people, paying for a hosted email service using your own domain is easier, but also seems like not a good investment just to spam a petition website.

The foo+bar@gmail.com functionality, however, is pretty well known tool - even by non-tech savvy people. Even some people I know that I consider basically tech-illiterate have known this for years, they have told me when they found out about it and asked me if I was aware of this functionality.

The first one I mentioned requires preparation, setting up email accounts or an email server, the second one is basically already set up for most email users and ready to go, the latter is therefore definately a lot less effort to pull off.

They have not learned anything about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

Thank you, Oscar-winning actress Margot Robbie.

which instance of theseu’s ship am I?

It is unfortunate and I was looking at dozens of other open source launchers, but I was not able to find one that fits my needs and is as customizable as Nova Launcher :(

There are companies selling “gaming pillows”. Don’t fall for the gamer tax, though, IKEA will sell you a breastfeeding pillow called LEN for a fraction of the price, which is essentially the same thing.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or possibly OpenRCT2 (depending on whether or not it works on the hardware)

“I want the three piece menu”

“we do not have a three piece menu”

“It says so on the poster right above your head”

“Oh, you want the threesome. Gotcha”

this comic uses a log scale (I extrapolate this from the only two data points given).

That’s one possible workaround, but that will, obviously, break stuff like cloud saving and achievement progress. So, not ideal, but probably viable for some situations.

Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members’ libraries, even if they are online playing another game

That’s a great first step, but I would also like to be able to play another game from my own library on another device (e.g. steam deck and pc) at the same time

This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
price should be permanent.

Dont play shitty games whose devs(or rather the companys behind) purposefully fuck up to not let it run on Linux

I don’t. Most games I play are single player indie titles that run perfectly fine on the steam deck. I’m merely pointing out that people also like to play multiplayer games, and particularly in the competitive games, anti cheat software is often used to thwart cheaters and unfortunately that anti cheat software is often incompatible with linux/proton, either by lack of consideration or on purpose.

you should be mad at them not searching for the fault at valve or Linux.

At no point did I blame valve or linux for these issues, feel free to point out where I did that. I was clearly blaming the game developers that implement such “features” to the detriment of linux users.

All I was saying that your “solution” to “just install linux” is, unfortunately, not something that universally works for everyone.
